Course Overview

CN230: Kubernetes Native Application Development by Mirantis is an intermediate-level course designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud architects seeking to master the creation of containerized applications optimized for enterprise Kubernetes environments. While the course does not directly align with a standalone certification exam, it builds critical skills validated in cloud-native credentials and prepares learners for real-world implementation of Kubernetes-native solutions. Targeted at professionals involved in modernizing applications or building microservices, the course addresses growing industry demand—Kubernetes is currently referenced in over 2,000 active job postings globally, reflecting its status as a core competency in cloud infrastructure roles. Participants should have completed the CN120 prerequisite or possess equivalent experience with containers, YAML, Bash, and version control systems.

The course delivers hands-on training in key technologies including Jenkins for CI/CD automation, Helm for application packaging, Prometheus for monitoring, and Strigo’s cloud-based lab platform where students gain live access to Kubernetes development environments. Learners configure container healthchecks, implement logging and monitoring stacks, and build secure, automated CI pipelines that integrate vulnerability scanning and image signing via content trust. A central project involves constructing a full continuous integration chain on Kubernetes, where students deploy Jenkins agents, design reusable Docker image hierarchies, and automate testing and release workflows. Through rapid development cycles using code mounts and hot reloading, participants experience real-time debugging and optimization techniques essential for maintaining high-velocity development in production-grade settings.

By completing CN230: Kubernetes Native Application Development, professionals strengthen their readiness for advanced cloud-native roles such as Solutions Architect or Senior DevOps Engineer, positions that command annual salaries ranging from $180,000 to $220,000 in enterprise environments. The course imparts vendor-neutral, practical expertise recognized across the industry, particularly valuable for teams adopting Mirantis Kubernetes Engine or similar platforms. At Koenig Solutions, this training is delivered with official Mirantis courseware and features Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, ensuring learners can advance their skills without delays. Graduates emerge equipped to lead containerization initiatives, optimize CI/CD pipelines, and drive digital transformation in organizations leveraging Kubernetes at scale.
